Brijuni Islands National Park

Along the west Istrian coast there are several groups of islands among which the largest, most interesting and indented is the Brijuni group, comprising 14 islands and islets with a surface of 7.4 square kilometers.

Veliki Brijun, as the largest island of the Brijuni archipelago which is partially cultivated in a harmony of lawns and landscape parks, comprises well-preserved vegetation systems of the west Istrian climate, along with extremely valuable remains of construction heritage. It is important to point out that the sea makes nearly 80% of the national park’s protected area, which contains almost all original elements of the Adriatic maritime ecosystem.
